One of the most interesting experiments in "occupying computation" on behalf of the 99% users is content management systems. They put schemas, queries, and algorithms in the hands of users whose idea of scribing great PHP and SQL syntax would be paying someone else to do it. In a sense, technologies like Drupal and Wordpress have increasingly allowed far more non-technical people to create real web applications as soon as they can wrap their minds around the wealth of possibilities.
The 99% cannot fully occupy computation until they're provided technologies that allow them to understand their own untrained capabilities without hours of specialized training on what they can already achieve. That's just a long way of saying, we need Neo's "I know Kung Foo" app.
